Trust the Santa Monica bicycle accident lawyers at Kermani for legal representation

Founded in 2011, the Santa Monica bicycle accident attorneys with Kermani are known for their dedication to being advocates for their clients, no matter what type of case is involved and what may be at stake. Since pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents can be complex cases involving victims who have sustained serious injuries, it will be vital you rely on bicycle accident lawyers in Santa Monica from Kermani who will do everything possible to help you gain the financial compensation you need and deserve.

Immediate Steps to Take After a Bicycle Accident in Santa Monica 

Immediately following a Santa Monica bicycle accident, you need to call the police. The authorities will help ensure that the right medical team gets called out to the scene of the crash. While you get the medical care you need, the police will clear away the accident scene, start investigating what happened, and create an official police report to document everything.

If you are able to, then you can start collecting evidence at the scene. Take photographs, ask if anyone caught the accident on film or a dash cam, and get contact details from witnesses.

After you leave the scene of the crash, you should get a full physical checkup as soon as possible. Keep a copy of the diagnosis you receive and any medical bills you start to accumulate. If you think your losses are significant, then your next step should be to contact an attorney in your area.

Speak with a Bicycle Accident Attorney in Santa Monica ASAP

For many bicycle accident victims, one of their biggest hurdles to gaining experienced legal representation is thinking they will need hundreds or thousands of dollars upfront before hiring an attorney. However, by working with the Kermani Law Firm, that will not be necessary. Instead, the team at Kermani charges their clients no fees until their case is won. By doing so, victims can concentrate on getting the medical treatment they need and taking care of themselves and their families, rather than worrying about coming up with the money to help them pursue personal injury litigation.

The Best Outcome as Quickly as Possible

Following a Santa Monica bicycle accident, you will already have much to deal with in terms of getting treatment for your injuries, trying to pay bills, and keeping you and your family in a reasonable standard of living until your case is resolved. We understand this here at the Kermani Law Firm, which is why our team of experienced legal professionals makes it our mission to provide you with the best possible outcome as fast as possible. Using our extensive experience in negotiating with insurance companies and lawyers for the defendant, we can use evidence from your case to show there is no reason for a delay in reaching a settlement. As a result, we can negotiate settlement offers that are fair, and reasonable, and allow you and your family to have peace of mind.

Types of Bicycle Accident Cases

Sometimes, bicycle accidents are simple to resolve, especially when the injuries are minor. At other times, though, a bicycle accident case can be quite complex. A few of the different types of bicycle accident cases you might experience include:

  • Traumatic brain injury cases;
  • Rear-end collisions;
  • Crosswalk accidents;
  • Wrong-way collisions;
  • Wrongful death claims;
  • pPermanent injuries;
  • Chest injuries;
  • Left turn cross accidents;
  • Car door versus bicyclist injuries.

In general, you’ll be able to file a compensation claim when the other party is at fault. Another type of bike accident you might experience, though, is one where multiple parties could be considered to blame. For instance, if you weren’t wearing a helmet, then you could be considered partially liable.

Types of Compensation

When you are involved in a bicycle accident, it is probable you suffered broken bones, severe head injuries, and perhaps catastrophic and life-changing injuries such as paralysis, loss of limbs, or traumatic brain injuries. Whatever type of injuries you suffered, you are entitled to seek various types of financial compensation. These include money to pay for current as well as future medical treatment, current and future lost wages if you are unable to return to work, compensation for pain and suffering, and other related damages. In addition, should the circumstances surrounding your accident involve extreme negligence on the part of the defendant, you may also seek and be awarded punitive damages.

Challenges in Bicycle Accident Cases

One of the most common challenges that make bicycle accident cases complex is the severity of the injuries sustained by the bicyclist. Unfortunately, a bicyclist has very little protection when they get struck by a vehicle, and when that car is moving at a fast pace, the impact of a collision can be devastating. In general, the more severe your injuries are, the more complex your claim is going to become. You’ll need to factor in not only your medical bills and losses but also the potential long-term consequences of your recovery period.

Another challenge you may encounter is claims that you were partially to blame for the accident or the severity of your injuries. If you weren’t wearing protective gear, then the other party might try to reduce their financial liability by claiming you share some responsibility. The other party might also try to argue you were partially at fault for violating some other traffic rule or riding unsafely.

Don’t Settle For Less Than You Deserve From Your Santa Monica Bicycle Accident

Attempting to work with insurance companies alone can be devastatingly costly in more ways than one. No matter how serious your injuries are, insurance adjusters are trained by their companies to do everything possible to pay out as little as possible to accident victims. Because of this, they will use a variety of tactics.

First, they may try to trick you into saying something they can use against you to claim you caused the accident or were not as seriously injured as you claim. If this does not work, they will instead offer you a quick settlement for far less than you need and deserve. Rather than make these mistakes, let the Kermani Law Firm hold insurance companies accountable.

How do I determine if my bicycle accident in Santa Monica warrants legal action?

If you were involved in a bicycle accident, then you might wonder if it’s worth your time and effort to pursue legal action. In general, you won’t need to take action if your losses are minimal and a simple insurance claim will take care of all your losses. You will want to pursue legal action when your losses are substantial, your injury will cause long-term losses, the situation is complex, multiple parties are involved, and you think someone else caused the crash.

What are the steps to take if the driver who hit me fled the scene?

After a bicycle hit-and-run accident, you need to call the police. Get the medical treatment you need as soon as possible while the authorities start to investigate what happened. Hopefully, the police or future investigators will be able to secure evidence that proves who hit you. Get in touch with an attorney to learn more about your options for financial recovery in a hit-and-run situation if your losses are stacking up.

What if my child is involved in a bicycle accident in Santa Monica? How do I claim compensation for their injuries?

Parents and legal guardians can pursue a personal injury claim on behalf of their child when another party is responsible for the accident.

Can I claim compensation for a bike accident in Santa Monica without a helmet?

California’s laws dictate that bicyclists who are over 18 years old aren’t required to wear a helmet when they ride. That said, they could still be considered partially responsible for the severity of their injuries if they failed to wear the proper safety gear. Despite that, you can still seek out compensation if you got into an accident, weren’t wearing a helmet, and think the other person caused the crash. Your overall compensation award may be reduced due to not wearing a helmet, but you’ll likely still be eligible for some compensation.

Are there specific Santa Monica laws affecting bicycle accident claims?

Santa Monica adheres to the California Vehicle Code when it comes to regulating bicycle riders. In general, bicyclists in Santa Monica are prohibited from riding on sidewalks, riding in public parking structures, riding on handlebars, or riding on the Third Street (Beach) Promenade. Otherwise, accidents are handled based on an at-fault basis.

What documentation is most crucial to collect at the accident scene for my Santa Monica bike claim?

Directly at the accident scene, it’s most important to get in touch with the police. When authorities come out to the scene, they’ll make an official police report regarding the accident. They’ll also start collecting evidence while you get treatment for your injuries.
